Japanese artist
Kaneoya Sachiko has been active online for over a decade, creating and sharing manga and anime-inspired art that explores the monstrous and romantic, the submissive and aggressive, the inescapable... and the
irresistible.
This high-quality, hardcover, bilingual volume contains over 200 pages of art,
never before published in North America.
Sachiko has fans all over the globe... And here's your chance to find out why,
way ahead of the curve. You can wait until this incredible collection hits store shelves everywhere in September...
or you can get your copy
months before anyone else, with
a few exclusive bonuses and rewards in the mix.
Mock-up! Subject to change! But it'll probably look a lot like this.
Iron Circus Comics' first art book ever will be one of our most ambitious. We've planed a 9" x 12" hardcover volume, 224 pages long, with reticulation, pink edge gilding, and gloss. Kaneoya's art has never been showcased in such a volume, and its production specs guarantee it won't just be an art book, but a collector's item... especially if the stretch goal is achieved.
Stay tuned!
